Cease Fire
Krum Bums Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What'cha bet the soc's in the social clubs
Pumped us up in our younger years
And then the White House politicians
Pumped us up full of lies
Feeding us shit to throw away our lives

But we don't give a fuck, we don't give a fuck!
What the fuck are we doing here
They say "Its another kingdom, oh its another people"
Look hard motherfucker its still the same

Cease fire, motherfucker!
Cease fire, motherfucker!

Look into the sky
See those fucking planes
We got that American aim
White House politicians roll
The dice in our lives
Here we go into a war again

Cease fire, motherfucker!
Cease fire, motherfucker!

Fight! Fight! Fight them all!
Fight the ones that screwed us all!
Fight! Fight! Fight them all!
Fight the fucks who screwed the world!

Put another shrimp, put another shrimp, just put another shrimp
To the bar ba-baby
We're gonna sit back and watch the world burn
Watch this poor little city burn down

Fight! Fight! Fight them all!
Fight the ones that screwed us all!




Fight! Fight! Fight them all!
Fight the fucks who screwed the world!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Krum Bums's song "Cease Fire" comment on the manipulation of individuals by the political and social systems. The opening lines of the song refer to the "soc's in the social clubs," who are identified as being responsible for brainwashing young people with propaganda that fills their heads with violence and aggression. The song then moves on to the politicians in the White House who use lies to feed individuals with a warped sense of reality.


The lyrics of the song suggest a desperate need for change and an uprising against the system that is corrupting people's minds. The repeated phrases of "cease fire, motherfucker" emphasize the need to put an end to the chaos and destruction that the corrupted system is causing. The imagery of planes in the sky and the idea of going to war again signify a never-ending cycle of violence that needs to stop.


The final lines of the song express an apathetic and nihilistic attitude by suggesting that individuals should sit back and "watch the world burn." The repetitive nature of the song's lyrics further emphasizes the need for action against the corrupt system.
